Lachdanan

出自【暗黑百科】DiabloWiki_凯恩之角

拉克戴南(Lachdanan)在暗黑破坏神3中并不直接出现,取而代之的是他会以灵魂的形态出现在大教堂的第四层中,可以在大教堂的第三层找到该故事情节的开始. 这些幻想讲述了他如何杀掉李奥克王, 以及在这个过程中, 他被疯掉的国王诅咒的故事.

拉南戴克的卷轴

在大教堂的第三层分散着五份卷轴, 这是由拉南戴克自己撰写的关于他自己的故事.

拉南戴克卷轴, 第一部分:"我的名字叫拉南戴克, 我被诅咒了. 作为曾经的李奥克王部队的队长, 我只为我的故乡和我的国王的荣耀而活着. 没有人比我更爱我的国王, 即便是我把我的剑刺入他黑暗和腐化的心."

拉南戴克卷轴, 第二部分:"一定是拉扎鲁斯--我非常确定这点. 他独自向国王谗言并把黑暗和邪恶的魔法悄悄输给了国王, 让国王慢慢觉得维斯特玛的攻击已经迫在眉睫. 没有人敢反对大主教, 议员们同意了这个空洞的协议并让我们去送死."

拉南戴克卷轴, 第三部分:"当我们从维斯特玛的惨败中返回时, 我深爱的国王已经失去了心智. 他勃然大怒, 尖刻的咒骂我们是叛徒. 怀着巨大的悲痛, 我杀了国王."

拉南戴克卷轴, 第四部分:"我将永远为我最后尊敬国王的举措而活在巨大的悲痛中. 当我们把他安放在他的墓室中长眠时, 他变成了一个令人惊骇的骷髅恶魔. 格拉斯和我其他的骑士立刻被打败了, 但是我仍然在战斗."

拉南戴克卷轴, 第五部分:"现在我有点彷徨, 在被我曾经爱戴的国王诅咒之后, 邪恶已经侵入我的骨髓, 一旦我无法控制折磨我的邪恶的话, 我不能冒险将我深爱的崔特斯凯姆置入险地. 我必须走向迷宫的深处一个人自身自灭."

历史

拉南戴克是坎都拉斯(Khanduras)王朝后半期李奥瑞克王骑士部队的队长. 他是一个正直的人, 忠于职守. 当暗黑破坏神试图通过控制李奥瑞克王的意识来占据他的时候, 大主教拉扎鲁斯害怕这个骑士可能将为成为一个问题. 从各方面来看, 拉扎鲁斯都是一个公正和受人尊敬的人, 因此如果他准备去怀疑李奥瑞克王哪有点不对劲的话, 他有很大的机会让法院相信他. 出于对此的担心, 这个大主教指责者忠诚的骑士叛国罪,

Fearing this, the Arch Bishop accused the loyal knight of treason, and much to his display the accusation was pushed aside as outlandish.  

As Diablo's hold tightened over the king, Lachdanan began to take notice of his king's errant behavior. As a last resort to remove prying eyes from Tristram, Lazarus convinced Leoric that Westmarch, the neighbouring country to the west, was planning to attack them. Lachdanan tried to reason with his king not to declare war, but Leoric was already at this point lost to madness and Lachdanan, honor-bound to serve, dutifully marched to war. The ploy sent both Lachdanan and most of the troublesome court far away from the king. The resulting war decimated the army of Khanduras against their militarily superior enemy, and Lachdanan was forced to retret. During his time away Diablo had extended his grip on Leoric and there was little left of his past self. Witnessing the terrible state of his beloved king, but unaware of Diablo, he killed Leoric. Though he tried to honor his king with a proper burial, Leoric rose as the Skeleton King and both attacked and cursed his former servants. Many of his knights, like Gorash, fell victim to the curse and became servants of Diablo. Lachdanan alone managed to flee the burial chamber, but gripped by the same curse Leoric cast upon all of his former knights, he dared not return to Tristam. Instead he ventured deeper into the labyrinth under the Cathedral to die there.

Diablo I

Lachdanan (Diablo I Quest) During the events of Diablo I, Aidan encountered Lachdanan below the Cathedral. The details of this encounter may not be entirely canon anymore, but the knight had run from Tristram but did not want to die cursed. He asked of Aidan to find a Golden Elixir, which he had heard could rid him of the curse. Aidan eventually found it, and thus helped save Lachdanan.
